I’m submitting a form using java HtmlUnit package. I am able to get pages and submit forms but on one page I’m getting a ScriptException error. The message is “Cannot set property "disabled" of undefined to "0"”
I think it might be caused by a javascript method that tries to set a variable that has not been declared in the form but I’m not sure.
tempForm = MyPage.getFormByName("menu_form");
tempForm.getInputByName("userId").setValueAttribute("myusername");
HtmlPage editSubscriberPage = (HtmlPage)
tempForm.getInputByName("submit_button").click();

- Does viewing the same page in a browser produce a JS error? – seth Commented Jul 23, 2009 at 3:45
- I just tested it again and just noticed the page that loads does have a JS error. Is there a way I can tell HtmlUnit to keep processing like ie does? – Ben Commented Jul 23, 2009 at 18:33

Reset to default 3This was caused my a javascript error on the page that was being loaded. I set the
webClient.getOptions().setThrowExceptionOnScriptError(false);
but it still threw the exception.
SOLUTION: If you catch the ScriptException the page is STILL fully loaded and you can just continue processing and ignoring the exception.
Example of HTML that fails:
<html>
<Head><title>JS Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function run_js()
{
form.myinput.value = "from on body";
// document.myform.myinput.value = "from body";
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="run_js()">
The Body.
<form name="myform">
<input name="myinput" type="text"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Can you provide a public website to test against? As I am not able to load the JS in https://mmlab1msslnx.fmr./mcwebadm/cgi-bin/edit_local.pl?operation=edit&return_address=%2Fmcwebadm%2Fcgi-bin%2Fmenu.pl&selected=22020c341b11de96c3000423d43f1d
Also, please use latest HtmlUnit 2.5 version.
